An Enjoyable Event.
The Merry Maids and their

evening with Miss Verna Moser

in this line. Everyone seemed
to enjoy themselves- better than
the other but all voted Miss
Verna a model entertainer and at

A candidate in Iowa who had
a great weakness for handshak-
ing contracted a dreadful disease
by this manner of campaigning
and had to have his hand ampu-
tated
aYou are an angel,” asserted
the love stricken youth. “That’s
no reason why should keep her
to unearthly hours,’’ remarked
the old man from the head of the
stairs.
The Waxahachie Eagle has this
to say about women and trains:
“The city council is thinking of
passing an ordinance requiring
ladies with long trains to whistle
at the crossings; the longer the
train the louder the whistle.”
Even if a boy is always whist-
ling “I Want to Be An Angel,”
it is just as well to keep the
rasberry jam and cheeso cakes
on the top shelf of the pantry.
The manwho banks his money
is never classed as a benefactor.
He prefers not to help his neigh-
bor who could use this money to
advantage and yet return it with
interest.
A few days ago a man living at
Geraldine was complaining of
having to haul water. Some one
asked him why he did not dig a
well. “Well,” he said, “It is
about six of one and a half dozen
of the other. I have to haul
water a mile and a half and if I
dig a well I can hardly see where
I can gain anything by it.”
The first tiring for a man
with the woman he marries is
to force her to understand that
he is going to be firm about
making her have her own way.
When a woman changes her
way of doing up her hair and her
husband doesn’t notice it, she
knows right away that he doesn’t
love her any more.
There is no hope for the boy
whose chief accomplishment is
to roll a cigarette. The butt end
of a cigarette will knock useful-
ness out of any weak-kneed boy.
The Glen Rose Herald asks a
question that will do to think
over when it says: “People are
often heard to remark that they
will get even with some one, al-
ways meaning some one whg has
done them a real or fancied
wrong. Have not a whole lot of
people done you fauotis? Then
wfiy not put in your spare mq*
ments ‘getting even’ with them?”
